The Philadelphia Experiment (2012)
Bad remake of a good movie
The effects were good, which is why I didn't give it a 1. It was also cool that Michael Pare had a part, even though they made him a bad guy. My biggest complaint was that there was a bad guy (in this case, lots of them). The plot had the same twist on the original that seems to be common in most remakes. Instead of good, if misguided, people trying to fix a scientific screw-up, it was all about the evil government bastards trying to keep the technology and to hell with everyone else. The only difference to this twist was that this time the evil government bastard was female. It's common in movies for the person in charge to be stupid, ignore the scientists' advice, and do exactly the things that will make the situation worse, but in addition to the stupidity she really was evil. She kept ordering innocent people to be shot, shot one herself (with a deranged smile on her face), and ordered bombs to be dropped at every opportunity. It was also irritating that Pare's character didn't die from things that should have killed 10 men. Don't waste your time with this one.
